How not to get someone to call you back.

08/25/2007

If you want to get someone that’s busy to take the time to call you, don’t just email them a one sentence email asking them to call you.  I’m on the phone all day long and answering emails at the same time and late into the night.  If you can’t be bothered to write anything about what you need, it’s hard to get time to call you back. 

 

The other thing that makes this so ironic in my case is that my 1-800 MARKETER number is listed almost place that my email address is.  So don’t ask me to explain why anyone would email me asking me to call them instead of just calling, but they do. 

 

The only thing worse is when people call to confirm if we got an email or a fax.  If you need to get confirmation that a fax went through, turn that option on in your fax machine.  If you want to ask if we got an email, send an email.  Otherwise, email loses it’s effectiveness.  If you want confirmation of an email ask it in the email. 

 

Enough ranting.  I just work hard and try to provide a good service to as many people as possible and need to work efficiently to do this.

    Thank you for helping me find a fitting toll free number for my business. I never would of thought of looking for a pattern such as a square 877-874-1236, as Square One Debt Settlement's phone number. Having the phone number relate to the business name makes it simple for our clients to remember it.800 debt settlement

    All the best,

    I thought it was too good to be true...but your quick response and set up got my new business up and going. As a "start up operation", getting all of the business elements to mesh at one time can be a real challenge. By reserving and activating my "vanity 877 number", I could get my advertising, packaging, business cards, and promotional graphics ordered and underway. That's critical and a big step forward. I only ran into a slight glitch in transferring the 800 service to my phone company; I don't think they understood your business. But a quick scan of your websites trouble shooting guide answered any questions they had and we're up and running. Thanks again and we'll call on you soon, when we expand!

    I'd like to thank you for the excellent service you and your associates provided during my vanity number acquisition. When I first found tollfreenumbers.com, I thought there was no way that huge volume of information could possibly be justified.

    Now that I have completed the purchase of vanity numbers both from you and others, I can say with confidence no source even comes close to you. The information on your site is accurate and insightful. The tools are second to none. I'm also very happy with the service provider I was able to find following your guidance.

    The perfect number for a fair price topped off with a the right service provider. Keep up the good work.
